let me quote to you, if i may... ..parroting hamas�*s numbers. ..people who are not hamas... ..important in this context. jan egeland, i know you know him. he's been a long—time visitor to both israel and the occupied territories. he's the head of the norwegian refugee council now. he says this — "the israeli bombardment is indiscriminate. "there is no escape for civilians, "no real access for aid. "the hospitals have virtually collapsed, "civilians are being starved, "and the hostages, the israeli hostages, "are still not released." that is a pretty accurate summation of where we are today, is it not? no, it is not. why not? well, which part of the question would you like me to tackle first? i'd like you to tell me why notjust jan egeland, but antonio guterres, philippe lazzarini — head of the unrwa organisation in gaza — are all saying that this is a catastrophe. to use lazzarini's phrase, "it is a man—made disaster "compounded by dehumanising language. and, of course, there he's talking about israel. "..and the use of food, water and fuel "as instruments of war " i don't k

he was a significant hamas was. he was a significant hamas figure. — hamas was.leh _ hamas was. he was a significant hamas figure, saleh al-arouri, l hamas was. he was a significant i hamas figure, saleh al-arouri, the hamas figure, saleh al—arouri, the deputy leader, he was killed in the attack on tuesday, and we are seeing images today of crowds gathered for his funeral, waving the green flag of hamas, and also carrying posters with pictures of his face. we saw prayers and also heavy gunfire as the funeral took place in beirut. so a blow for hamas, an important figure being assassinated, but also it was an attack that hit hezbollah because this happened in a suburb of beirut that is a stronghold of hezbollah yesterday we heard from the influential leader of hezbollah, hassan nasrallah, who described the assassination as a flagrant israeli aggression, a crime that cannot go unpunished, he said, so a lot of people here in lebanon are waiting to see what kind of action hezbollah are going to take to respond to this assassination that the lebanese authorities and a

figure in hamas who had helped a lot with building up the military wing have hamas.res shared by hezbollah of meetings between him and his—brother—word—mack�*s leader. he has been very important in... will resistance factions in the lead region. he is pretty much very a seniorfigure. and he is definitely seen as a big blow to hamas. just very briefly. _ seen as a big blow to hamas. just very briefly. any _ seen as a big blow to hamas. just very briefly, any more reaction from the lebanese government? that very briefly, any more reaction from the lebanese government?- the lebanese government? at the moment, the lebanese government? at the moment. as _ the lebanese government? at the moment. as you _ the lebanese government? at the moment, as you said, _ the lebanese government? at the moment, as you said, caretaker i the lebanese government? at the - moment, as you said, caretaker prime minister had condemned this association, i'm sure there will be lots of talks about what has happened, lots of questions and lots of concerns expressed in the coming days. of concerns

breaking news regarding an israeli drone attack uh in southern part of beirut, attack conducted on hamas office there, and we hear four people are dead, let's bring in ally risk, political commentator to see uh, what we can talk about, ellie, what do you have for us? well, i was just the moments before we went on air, i was just um reading some news, it appears, i'm not sure 100%, it appears that the target was the senior hammers officialuri uh, deputy, i believe, deputy chief of the hamers political bureau who resides in beirot, again i can't confirm 100%, but it appears that he was the... target, there were previous um rumors or some people circulating information that um the target might have been zayad nahal who is the senior official, in fact the leader of the islamic jihad, but it it appears that salodi uh, most probably was the target, um, not surprising given the fact that the israeli officials themselves have stated time and again that um, they will resort to assassinations and that if recall at the beginning of the war, there were statements made by the senior israeli officials

the deputy chief of the palestinian resist. since movement hamas, salahuri was a celebrated military strategist and one of the founding members of hamas's military wing, the ezidin al khassam brigades. he had been living in exile in lebanon after spending some 18 years in in israeli jail. before the israeli carnage began on october 7th, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had threatened to kill him. and number of his comrades were assassinated in an israeli drone strike in the lebanese capital beirot. the horrific act of terror came as the israeli regime's genocidal campaign against palestinians in the besieged gaza strip surpassed three months, leaving behind more than 22,000 fatalities, mostly women and children. lebanon's caretaker prime minister najib micandi. slam the israeli attack on lebanese soil and warned against israeli political uperalon, resorting to exporting its failures in gaza to the southern border to impose new facts on the ground and change the rules of engagement. hisbullah resistance movement in its statement said the attack will not go without punishment.

he has helped establish the hamas military -- the brigades, the military wing of hamas he was also responsible the hamas office and presence in the west bank. he worked closely with iran and hezbollah, the iran backed group, and there was footage of him for example seen with the iranian supreme. he also was responsible for many key prisoner swaps with israel. so not only who was killed but where he was killed because he was killed in a southern suburb. this suburb was a hezbollah stronghold. sumi: thank you for this update. for more on the strike in beirut and the war in gaza, i spoke to the deputy head of the combat intelligence corps from israel. we have seen the news that a strike in beirut has killed the deputy head of the political wing from hamas. how significant do you think this is? >> saleh al-arouri was not just a number two in what they call theolitical wing. he directly was responsible for recruiting and arming terrorist actions in the area of judea and samaria and the west bank, but he was also living in the heart of the has will the area of beirut. he was the direct connection be

of hamas.s been carrying out daily attacks and said it wouldn't stop until israel stops its war on gaza. but what happened yesterday took things to a completely different level. this is an attack in the southern suburb of beirut. it is an area which was largely controlled for hezbollah, but it is also an area in the capital, a lot away from that open front, and also an assassination — the nature of that attack is completely different. targeted killings were something that has always said in the past will not tolerate to happen in lebanon. hassan nasrallah is expected to give a speech this afternoon. there is a lot of anticipation about what he might say, and whether he will get any direction towards what kind of retaliation hezbollah could have. this is the director for the levant institute in beirut and he told me more about the role of saleh al—arouri within hamas. role of saleh al-arouri within hamas. �* ., ., ~' , role of saleh al-arouri within hamas. �* ., ., ~ , , hamas. being one of the

aided hamas?n secretary—general, antonio guterres, says that of the 12, nine have been immediately dismissed. one has died and two are currently being identified. now, little concrete is known about the actual allegations. but as you heard in my report, israeli intelligence and the israeli military is said to have passed on information that they say shows the active participation of these people in the 7th of october attacks and the use of unwra facilities and vehicles. mark regev, a senior adviser to israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, told the bbc last week that a released israeli hostage of an unrwa staff member. now, the timing of these allegations will be will be debated. i mean, there will be those who will see israel as raising this at a time when its government is under pressure because of that ruling on friday by the international court ofjustice, the un's top court, that it needs to do all it can to prevent genocide in gaza, that there is growing international pressure on israel

where is the leadership of hamas ? might step in to replace leadership that is captured or killed? and i don't think the idf has an answer to that. but i think they are committed to this strategy. i think benjamin netanyahu cannot stop. he needs and out, he needs an exit ramp. he does not have it yet. i think biden may provide one for him. but we will see. >> great to get your analysis and thoughts. thank you both so much. we will have to get you back to go more into the you his election cycle and how that will play into the geopolitics of these conflicts. for the moment, we must leave it there. coming up next in the u.k., the government claiming success on processing asylum claims. we will be taking a look at the numbers. this is bbc news. narrator: funding for this presentation of this program is provided by... narrator: financial services firm, raymond james. man: bdo. accountants and advisors. narrator: funding was also provided by, the freen foundation. and by judy and peter blum kovler foundation; pursuing soluti

over two months has passed since the palestinian hamas resistance movement launched an unprecedented full-blown attack on israel an operation that truly fits its name, the alaas storm. in the october 7 attack, hamas and fellow resistance fighters humiliated israel's. so-called invincible military and spy services by infiltrating the occupied territories via land, sea and air, killing hundreds of israelis and taking many others as captives. this operation was described as a response to decades of israeli occupation, oppression of palestinians and the desecration of the alaxsan mosque. outraged by the severe military and intelligence blow the regime suffered, israeli leaders pledged to wipe out hamas as the ultimate objective for the war they quickly waged on gaza, a an israeli besieged coastal enclave that's home to some 2.2 million people, up until now the regime has killed over 20,300 gazans, mainly minors and women, and leveled much of the sliver to the ground. many observers, however, believe that despite what appears to be the superiority of israel's western back military against

hamas, the resistance continues. the ceremony of the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of general hajj qassem soleimani will be held today from 18:00 at imam khomeini mosque in tehran. the lovers sardars from all over the country brought themselves to kerman martyrs gulzar. postponing umrah trips until further notice. this morning, the first group of umrah pilgrims was supposed to leave from imam khomeini airport become the land of revelation. and the beginning of the process of receipt of goods for clothing, so far more than 620 production certificates have been issued. in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful, may god bless muhammad and the family of muhammad and hasten their fate. greetings and good morning to you, dear and respected countrymen , we are in your presence. stay with us until the end of the 8 am news . resist media office. in palestine, he announced that the assassination of saleh al-arwari, the vice-chairman of the political bureau of hamas, will not break the will of the palesti

hamas is an army of strangers living in palestine. "hamas is the palestinian people, it is an essential, central and the biggest part of the palestinian people in all electoral processes since 2006, hamas won the majority of the seats, which reflected the people's trust in hamas, because all those programs have been at the service of our people. all israeli attempts to distort hamas's image and presented as an extremist, terrorist and daesh organization have failed so far. for example, the world realized how hamas fighters dealt with the israeli captives. all the fighters came to bit farewell to them when they were released. the prisoners acknowledged in front of the cameras and media how kindly the fighters were dealing with them, feeding them with their own food, living with them in their places, while the palestinian prisoners have been living in conditions similar to those of nazi concentration camps, despite the israeli's allegations about their democracy, free. and human rights. the israelis are not ashamed of these allegations,

, the deputy head of the political office of hamas, and two of the qassam commanders were martyred. in a special news interview , we will examine what goals the zionist regime pursues from the terrorist attack in lebanon. will the martyrdom of the resistance leaders change the equations of the gaza war? will do. a three-hour election conversation between party representatives and political activists with the president. mr. raisi is the increase in the number of participants in the elections for the benefit of everyone and the country? there must be a strong government and it will make iran strong. the necessity of my transformation is that everyone's tastes are present. the terror of the zionist soldiers when facing the resistance fighters. five other brigades of the zionist regime were forced to withdraw from the gaza strip. martyrdom of 227 more palestinians in the attacks of the zionist regime on the gaza strip in the last 24 hours. the number of martyrs exceeded 2280 people. and the unveiling of two knowledge -based devices in the field of industrial raw material analysis and mo

and it is very heavy for the zionist regime that it was hit by hamas alone, and the hit it got from hamas is more than what its dimensions are known now, in other words, when the war is over, only then can we deal with these issues, whether in the axis of resistance or in among the zionists, the axis of resistance does not want to deal with the issues of how and to what extent the zionists are targeted, because it has more important work, and the zionists also say that we must address these issues, for after the end of the war, this issue is very heavy for the zionist regime and the blow that it has been unable to achieve its goals from various internal and external directions. we are facing the biggest enemies and we are fighting with them. thank you. we have a report prepared by al-masira network in yemen regarding the achievement that the zionists showed in the north of gaza, but after a few days it became clear that the hamas forces returned to the north. gaza returned. they need to rest and should from their positions retreat we will be looking at the coming months because the rocket

along with others, along with two hamas military commanders and four other hamas members. israeli prime minister netanyahu said back in november that israel would act against the leadership of hamas, wherever they are last year. and even earlier, he directly mentioned aruri, who, by the way, was on the us terrorist list. by. murder, washington promised 5 million dollars as early as 2018. however, israel neither confirms nor denies this murder. the israeli army continues to attack the gaza strip in order to destroy hamas, according to the israeli authorities. according to tzahal spokesman daniel hagari, the israeli army has completely destroyed the command structure of hamas in the northern gaza strip. he added that palestinian militants in the area operate without commanders, and with... in total, israel destroyed about 8,000 militants, precisely in the north of gaza. the bbc cannot independently confirm these figures, but they were repeated by the spokesman for the israeli prime minister's office, eilon levy. israel has significantly undermined the terrorist infrastructur

but iran is helping hamas, because the goal of hamas is to destroy israel. in this case -- they are supporting hamas. most of the weapons hamas has are from iran. their training hamas individuals in iran and send the back to gaza. other sunni terrorists are not example.ith iran, iran hates them, and they do fight each other. iran recently did strikes in pakistan and in iran going after isis. however, iran has helped al qaeda, another terrorist groups. all the shia terrorists are very closely aligned with iran. hezbollah, the shia groups in iraq take all their orders from iran. some sunni terrorists groups are lined with iran, some are not. host: joe, republican. good morning. caller: my complaint is all the support for the countries, i am kind of a penny pincher and think supposedly we left $70 billion -- 70 billion or 80 billion equipment and bullets in afghanistan when we left in such a hurry. if ukraine needed so much stuff, we could have gave them the stuff we left in afghanistan. this were with them is at a stalemate. russia and ukraine is at a stalemat

two other hamas military commanders have also been killed in the blast. hamas confirmed the martydum of aruuri as a chief of staff of the resistance movement in the occupied west bank and the besieged gaza srip, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had threatened to kill him. even before october the 7th, al-arori was born in the town of arura in the occupied west bank in 1966. alarori joined hamas in the late 1980s and was imprisoned and released by the israeli regime several times. he was a founding commander of his military wing, the isaddin al-qassam brigades. he went into exile, first to syria and later moved to lebanon in 2018 until his assassination on january 2. i saw him 20 years ago, he used to speak to me over the phone, but not a lot, and now he's killed, he expected to be killed, he told me that, he spent 15 years behind bars, he then was released and got married, but he was arrested again for three more years and then they deported him, those cowards sent him away and then they killed him, thank god my brother martur was mujahed fighter

such time, we're just going to continue with our special coverage of this israeli uh drone attack on hamas office in beirot in southern lebanon that ended up in the assassination of number of people top of them uh hamas deputy uh actually official there. uh, mr. al-arori. so to continue this, uh, we'll go to beirot now, our correspondent mariam salah is there, and i believe she's at the scene of that incident. maria, yes, of course, we are right here, this is exactly where the explosion took place, it sounded all throughout this area, and we heard of course from eyewitnesses saying that they saw. something of course sparkle in the sky, so that's why it's not very confirmed yet, but it seems to be uh very uh probably a drone attack, and they said that they heard three different explosions, so it could have been three rockets that were fired uh from a drone against the building which is in the uh southern suburbs uh of beirot, this is in southern beirot and that targeted and assassinated the leader in hamas salih, of course salih is... the deputy of the head of the political bureau of hamas

where is the leadership of hamas now? and who might— leadership of hamas now? — that is captured or killed? i don't think the idf has answers about right— think the idf has answers about right now— think the idf has answers about right now but i think they are committed to the strategy. i think jimmy— committed to the strategy. i think jimmy netanyahu cannot stop now, he needs— jimmy netanyahu cannot stop now, he needs an _ jimmy netanyahu cannot stop now, he needs an exit ramp and he does not have it _ needs an exit ramp and he does not have it yet — needs an exit ramp and he does not have it yet and i think biden may provide — have it yet and i think biden may provide one for him, us pressure might— provide one for him, us pressure might provide that exit ramp, but we will see _ might provide that exit ramp, but we will see. , ., ., ,, might provide that exit ramp, but we will see. , ., ., ., ., i, , will see. great to get your analysis and thoughts _ will see. great to get your analysis and thoughts matthew, _ will see. great to get your analysis and thought

top hamas official express confidence, israel can never eliminate hamas, words that hold as true todayate hamas movement, as if hamas is an army of strangers living in pales. hamas is the palestinian people, it is an essential, central and the biggest part of the palestinian people. in all electoral processes since 2006, hamas won the majority of the seats, which reflected the people's trust in hamas, because all those programs have been at the service of our people. all israeli attempts to distort hamas's image and presented as an extremist, terrorist and daish organization have failed so far. for example, the world realized how hamas fighters dealt with the israel in the interview, the top palestinian official also spoke about the strength of palestinian resistance, fighters saying they're fighting for a just cause for which they are ready sacrifice their lives. he was keen on stressing the strong will and determination is much more important than the resistance group's missiles and underground tunnels. that interview with aruri was conducted in istanbul by our correspondent rashan s

figs up in hamas leadership. what do you make of that argument? $5 i up in hamas leadership.ake of that argument? as i say, there are always _ make of that argument? as i say, there are always successes - make of that argument? as i say, there are always successes and i there are always successes and replacements, and above all, nobody speaks about the real danger of this operation, namely for the safety of the hostages. israel has over 100 hostages being kept in gaza, to go and to assassinate a senior hamas commander is really risking their lives. israel will not be able to claim any more that those calls crushing hamas and releasing the hostages are equally important for it, because in this operation, they are saying, no, we prefer crushing hamas over releasing the hostages. this is not very promising for the safety of the hostages, which, from my point of view, are the main goal and should be the main goal of israel. ~ ., , and should be the main goal of israel. . , , , ., israel. what is public opinion lookinu israel. what is public opinion looking like _ israel. what is

baghdad internet. airport by the us drone strike and now to our world news bulletin everyone atop hamas official has been assassinated in an israeli drone attack in the south of the lebanese capital bayrut.uri and several others were killed in the attack which targeted in office of the hamas resistance movement. al ruri was one of the founders of the hamas's military wing and it's deputy leader. our correspondent matiam sailey joined us earlier with the details. it was definitely assassination by uh the israeli uh intelligence and we heard from the israeli media that they said that there is some sort of a security. operation inside lebanon, but here we're talking about the heart of the southern suburbs of beirot. this is the place of the supportive ground of hizballah. hisbullah secretary general saysan nosullah has previously said that any attack or aggression against lebanon or assassination, whether it is a lebanese official or a palestinian official, and therefore hizbullah would find it necessary to retaliate. this is in addition to another warning from hezbollah secretary general

and one of the founding members of hamas's military wing, the azidin al-qassam brigades. he had been living in exile in lebanon after spending some 18 years in an israeli jail. before the israeli carnage began on october 7th, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had threatened to kill him. salal aruri and number of his comrades were assassinated in an israeli drone strike in the lebanese capital, beirut. the horrific act of terror came as the israeli regime's genocidal campaign against palestinians in the besieged gaza strip surpassed three months, leaving behind more than 22,00 fatalities, mostly women and children. lebanon's caretaker. prime minister najib mikati slammed the israeli attack on lebanese soil and warned against israeli political operalon resorting to exporting its failures in gaza to the southern border to impose new facts on the ground and change the rules of engagement. hisbullah resistance movement in its statement said the attack will not go without punishment. danny. an, a former israeli envoy to the united nations, hailed the attack and congratu

hamas targeted civilians. kidnapped innocent children as well as people as old as 85 years old. israel is not doing that. as israel has begun to respond in gaza to the indiscriminate and barbaric targeting of innocent israeli citizens, some and we have heard it today, have called for a cease-fire. a cease-fire would be a strategic victory for hamas. it would simply allow hamas to bite it's time and prepare for future attacks and pay no price for the greatest loss of jewish lives in a single day since the holocaust. could you clarify the administration position on a cease-fire. >> first of all, i fully agree with you that no country, no country could tolerate what israel suffered on october 7. it is extraordinary the extent to which that day has receded in memory. i was in israel short only after the attack. i have been going there professionally for 30 years and longer than that in my own life. i have never seen what we have all seen and what israel experienced on that day in terms of the impact it has on that

and accepts the idea that the existence of hamas will continue ." this senior white house official added that hamas still it has significant military capabilities in the gaza strip. these statements are a reaction to the statements of the zionist authorities who claimed that the target of the attack was gaza is the destruction of hamas. the new york times newspaper wrote on monday: "the destruction of hamas is a fantasy. the air attack of the zionist occupation on the red crescent center of khan yunus in the south of the food strip led to the martyrdom of 4 people . in al-maghazi camp, the invaders bombed several houses, which led to the martyrdom of two people and a large fire in this camp. the zionists also bombarded several houses in the vicinity of al-aqsa martyrs hospital in deir al-balah. the center of the gaza strip is also reported to be severe since then, it had become a place for displaced people to settle down , but the occupiers tried to drive them out with a ground attack and bombardment. palestinians are from zawayda. more than 30 peop

hamas believes. on the right wing , they do not care about the dire situation that the zionists have faced due to the war, and they follow the policy of running away from the fear of future events in various fields and on the front of zionism. we are still with you in today's world. the conversation with mr. mohsen. farhad khawani, i will continue, mr. farhad khawani, in political discussions , we have seen that the zionist differences have increased , and a series of officials have spoken about ehud barak's need to hold early elections, before more time is lost, we also had quotes saying on that benny ganses and eisen kod are considering leaving the war cabinet, as well as lapid, netanyahu once again emphasized to netanyahu's supporters and opponents that they all believe that netanyahu's future is coming to an end in the zionist government, now the question is whether this positions announced. the end of netanyahu's life has come closer, the process of developments that have taken place has led to

going to jail himself. for corruption and for incompetence in preventing the october 7th attack by hamas and the resistance forces, so i think this is, this is to me what the what this attack means for israel, for hamas and the resistance forces, they they have no other choice, i mean, yeah, yes, their leaders get assassinated, sheikh ahmed yasin was assassinated. et cetera, you know, abu ali mustafa was assassinated, lots of palestinians were assassinated, and as i said, the other people were assassinated also in lebanon and in syria and other places, but what choices do they have, succumbed to israel, of course that will never happen, so they will continue, they'll replace their leaders, they'll grow new generation even more determined and even stronger in its essence, this is any rational objective person sees this, as i said, israel is not calculating that killing resistance figures will suppress the resistance, the calculating that actually this will increase resistance and give them more excuse to remain stealing palestinian lands, that's all, and you just... mentioned this and i w

the idf and israel is destroying hamas as we speak right now. we will destroy hamas. we will demilitarize gaza, so it won't pose a threat ever again. most importantly, gaza and the palestinian society at large needs to be radicalized. the 1 00 square miles to the south of israel's border might be the most radical area on earth. why? because unrwa and other organizations have poisoned the minds of palestinians for decades. they manipulated the minds of the youth. they told the youth to cherish death instead of to terrorist life. they taught them to murder jews is a good thing. that has to end. >> do you think unrwa would reject those claims? that you are making? they say they have informed you of weapon storage. they have anymored militants in the past mr. so i think they certainly would object to what you are saying. >> first of all, anna, first of all, we can start by calling people who have had children and burned babies alive. we can call them terrorists. call them what they are. they are terrorists and we will destroy the terrorist organization called hamas. we wi

these people are prisoners of hamas. if these are hamas fighters and they are in your custody , why don't you broadcast their photos? what the israelis are doing is an act of desperation. a network of followers arresting people who claim to be hamas fighters. ability. to continue the war until the defeat of 100% of occupation, he loved martyrdom very much and thank god that he got his wish, his son is known as the second official of the palestinian resistance, but the mother does not consider him different from the ordinary people of gaza . he was also someone like the people of gaza . in the behavior of a sister who, on the day of her brother's martyrdom , talks not about herself, but about the path and ideals. thank god that we are on the right path , we do not accept condolences. congratulate us and also for the behavior of salih, who spent his youth in the struggle against the occupation , sheikh ahmed yassin, sheikh ahmed yassin and all hamas leaders were martyred, abu ali mustafa and thousands of martyrs. the first

we know he was kidnapped by hamas. we know that the barbaric terrorists have taken him and his mother and his brother and his father was in a different place. we know that they're going through hell, , and we don't knw their whereabouts, and the enemy who supposedly advocates that he, as a cause in life is basically advocating jihadism, celebrating and glorifying terror, celebrating and glorifying the abduction of kir, and from here this incredible world stage i called upon the entire universe to work endlessly to free tonight and all the hostages that are there, about 100 fix -- 100 fix by now. >> thank you very much, mr. president. that you for sharing this. also as professor schwab said in his introduction to you, i have known you also as as a man of peace. you always have been someone that is said that we need peace in the middle east, and that the war is still ongoing in gaza. how do you see an end of this war and also that's probably related to the situation for the hostages. there are 100 hostages, probably less

the killing of a senior hamas official.n the ongoing conflicts. what are the conversations and calculations at the biden administration will be having right now, given events of yesterday. given the fact that the administration in 2015 basically declared him a specialist terrorist and then three years later put a $5 million bounty on his head, i think that the administration broadly and to reporting suggests that he was not informed of this in advance but was informed as the operation was actually taking place. i'm not sure there will be many tears shed in washington. there is honestly the fear of course of a regional escalation. but as i mentioned, i think and we will have to wait to see what hassan nasrallah actually says, reading tea leaves of his speech, as to whether or not hezbollah want to go beyond the accepted rules of the game that they have been more or less been fighting with israel since october seven into a major israel his hezbollah war. i don't think there is the willful intention of iran, hezbollah to creat

we've also hamas housing, also got links to hamas housing, hamas leader in qatar, and it could case ofof keep your friends close and enemies friends close and your enemies closer . however, this show closer. however, this does show poor judgement doesn't poor judgement, doesn't it? >> i i think it's i >> no, i think i think it's i think it's even more important to whether people to engage age and whether people are or adversaries or are allies or adversaries or somewhere in between having a britain that is engaged on the global stage, trying to use , use global stage, trying to use, use our influence and leverage to both in terms of our own national self—interest, but also in terms of the values that britain holds on the international stage. it is important to engage . okay. important to engage. okay. >> i mean, some people might think a 25 grand private jet trip isn't exactly man of the people, let's on. let's people, but let's move on. let's talk the green prosperity talk about the green prosperity plan. £28 billion. is it an plan. that £28 billion. is it an ambition or a target? i'm

, he told them that israel has a counter offer to hamas, they cannot accept hamas's and other resistance forces conditions, the conditions of hamas is very clear, you end the genocide and then we negotiate with the about exchange of prisoners, israel. refuses condition, hamas will not back down from it, the resistance forces will not accept temporary poses where the israeli army kind of reestablish itself, especially temporary poses in which they release some of the hostages and they have no bargaining power anymore, and then israel do like what they did before, continue the genocide after a temporary pause, so that's an starter: the resistance is not going to accept temporary poses in exchange for releasing hostages and exchanging some prisoners. this is not going to happen and the israel know it, but they want to appear that they are offering some compromise, which i know is a non-starter, because what the people of the world and what the resistance forces want is an end of the genocide, not an end of the fighting, we you know the resistance and resistance is winning, i mean as you saw

hamas ignores our calls. hamas doesn't care. the people have only one address and that is the government of israel. >> we'll have to leave it there. we appreciate your analysis. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> in washington protestors gathered in front of the white house and elsewhere, many calling for a ceasefire demanding u.s. president biden withdraw support for israel. gabe cohen was there. >> reporter: this was a huge rally that that included a march through the streets and as well as a protest outside the white house. and its size and program really mirrored last massive march for gaza that we saw here in washington which i covered back this early november. but the message on saturday felt even more urgent as the death toll in gaza continues to rise. these protestors calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. and really trying to put political pressure on the biden administration to end its unequivocal support for israel and to end any military aid for israeli's war effort in gaza. i spoke to a palestinian amer

so you say go after hamas. hamas embeds with the people. i'm just saying -- you said they have every right to go after hamas. hamas hides within the people, the populous. so then what do they do? >> even the president has said some of their bombing has been indiscriminate and the president has been a strong supporter of israel. this is a situation where benjamin netanyahu are doing collective punishment. the fact everyone in his cabinet is talking about removing everyone from gaza for good is part of what's there right now and the u.s. interest has been clearly stated by the nat a two-state solution that allows a state for palestinians and israelis is an option we would like to see for peace in the region, but netanyahu doesn't support that. in fact, part of the problem is we didn't have idf soldiers outside of gaza the day of the attack because they were protecting illegal settlements in the west bank. >> i'm not disagreeing with any of it. we're not going to solve the crisis today. i guess the point is i hear what you're saying, but going

other hamas cadres.is quite clear saleh al-arouri was the key target. i think one thing that requires explanation from hamas's site is how the seven people were meeting in a hamas office in beirut at a time where it was clear saleh al-arouri was wanted not only by israel, but also by the united states, which proximally a decade ago put a price on his head. why they did not take greater precautions in terms of operational security that allowed israel this achievement and some were even describing it as a known goal by hamas at a time when it is denying israel any significant achievement in the gaza strip. amy: what does this mean for a wider regional perhaps war? you have i think privately the u.s. has been reaching out to leadership in lebanon. this then takes place, not clear what the u.s. knowledge of this was. you have at the time of this broadcast, the head of hezbollah has not yet spoken but expected to give a major address. the significance of this attack on the killing of the -- some of the hamas

hamas is the palestinian people.he majority of the seats, which reflected the people's trust in hamas, because all its programs have been at the service of our people. all israelis attempts to distort hamas's image and presented it as an extremist terrorist. and organization have failed so far, for example, the world realized on the interview, the top palestinian official also spoke about the strength of the palestinian resistance fighters saying, they're fighting for a just cause for which they are ready sacrifice their lives. he was keen to stress at his that this strong will and determination is much more important than the resistance groups of missiles and underground tunnels. that interview with arudi was conducted by conducted in istanbul by our correspondent rashan saglom. following the assassination, saglom joined us to recount her experience of the interview and her impression of aruri himself. when i first was told that i will be interviewing, i felt like this is a responsibility. it's not easy to interview
